VibroAcoustic Sound Therapy

VibroAcoustics (VAT) has been researched around the world for more than 40 years and has been used in private clinical settings since 1980 when prototypes of the technology were developed in Norway by Olaf Skille and others in Germany. 

​

Quality vibroacoustic products (chairs, massage tables, etc.) produce a wonderful relaxation response in the body naturally without prescription drugs. The vibrations from the music permeates throughout the body to a cellular level.

​

During the vibroacoustic therapy process, a client reclines on a specially designed chair or bed that is embedded with speakers or transducers which transmit sound into vibrations that travel through the body in a soothing, healing motion that we liken to an “internal massage”.  In relaxed areas of the body, the sound waves pass through. Where blockages exist, the sound breaks them up so that faster healing can occur. VAT also provides deep physical cellular stimulation to skin, muscles and joints. As such, researchers have observed decreased pain and increased mobility when VAT is applied to the body. And, new research from a study at the University of Toronto suggests that it may also help people with debilitating diseases, such as Parkinson’s.

​

I initially purchased my VibroAcoustic therapy equipment and music from the U.S. based ‘Somatron’ in 2012. Their company was developed in 1985 and their technology has now experienced widespread use in health care, wellness, and education as well as in private settings. 

​

In 2021, I was further introduced to ‘Inner Soulutions’, also a U.S. based company, that has been developing VAT frequencies since the 1990's. I have added their music therapy to my VibroAcoustic treatments. 

​

“Inner Soulutions’ states “VAT offers multiple benefits and has been documented to stimulate blood circulation, relieve stress, anxiety and its analgesic effect aids in pain management. It lowers blood pressure and calms the autonomic nervous system and decreases spasms and tremors (Parkinson’s, Dystonia) helping to enhance the quality of life. It provides surface and deep tissue massage effects. It has also been found to aid with lung conditions such as  Asthma, COPD and Cystic Fibrosis. Repeated sessions have shown cumulative positive effects.”

WHAT’S INVOLVED IN A SESSION
The session is a pleasurable experience. While the music plays, you feel the music vibrations throughout your body as well as hearing the music. Vibro Acoustics allows people to enter a state of deep relaxation where their mind and body may experience new feelings as they start to enter this state. Your body may feel warm and heavy or perhaps even tingly. You also may feel sleepy, groggy, or drowsy and may stay in this half-asleep or half-awake state throughout the session, or may actually fall asleep. Occasionally people experience an "autonomic tic" as you become more relaxed. We have all experienced this at some time when our body jumps slightly as we are falling asleep (our nervous system is discharging energy). There is nothing unusual or harmful about this. Since brain waves are slower in a deep relaxation state than a normal waking state, brain waves will slow down. This experience may be similar to how you feel just before you fall asleep at night since our brain waves slow down as we enter sleep.

SEVEN HEALTH BENEFITS OF VIBROACOUSTIC SOUND THERAPY

 

1. The Limbic System is signaled to return to a calm state, and over time helps the body to become better at self-regulation and more resilient to stressors.

2. The Relaxation Response is activated, which creates a cascade of positive physical and emotional health benefits.

3. The heart rate slows and heart rate variability improves, which is an indicator of stress resilience.

4. Blood pressure lowers, which reduces the risk of stroke and heart attack.

5. Muscles relax, which in turn can reduce pain from tension and spasms.

6. Pain lessens through a combination of increased relaxation and an increase of ‘happy’ hormones.

7. Circulation increases, which nourishes the cells and organs.
